VICTORY Handed Over - A special ceremony has taken place on board the 104 Gun First Rate Ship of the Line VICTORY at Portsmouth was formally handed over from the newly appointed Second Sea Lord, Vice Admiral David Steel, to the First Sea Lord, Admiral Sir Mark Stanhope.   It was as Commander-in-Chief Naval Home Command that the Second Sea Lord flew his flag from VICTORY.      The re-organisation of the MoD has meant that the title of Commander-in-Chief Naval Home Command no longer exists. As the First Sea Lord retains full command responsibility for the VICTORY will now become the Flagship for the First Sea Lord.
